Yes, interesting that we choose to spend a great deal of money on a flawed product. I do still have an Seven in the garage Dave, well remembered, this one though is even more flawed, having an Yamaha R1 engine. With 6 sequential gears, very closely spaced to give me forward momentum, but no gears to help me go astern. Interesting on our Somerset and Devon lanes, which are only one car wide.
I think our ownership of such vehicles is an antidote to very efficient modern cars, which require very little or no thought to drive, are asignine and boring to drive, and one has to be travelling at least at 100mph or more to get any real feeling of speed.
